I confess I was a little hesitant to put my hand up for this as I'm pretty cautious about what I put on my baby's skin. When the products arrived I immediately checked the back to see the ingredients. I was really excited to find they didn't contain artificial fragrance. As a bonus, they still smelt lovely!
The three products I received to try were a barrier balm, a massage oil and a body wash.
The barrier balm was the one I found the most useful. The texture is similar to a body butter and I ended up using it liberally all over my baby girl, as her dry skin is prone to eczema. As a bonus, the size is great for fitting in the nappy bag or travel bag. I've ended up using it as a bit of a one-product-all-jobs. It wasn't quite as heavy and oily as my regular barrier cream (Tui balm), but that difference is made up for by the fact I can use this one for all kinds of jobs.
The massage oil was again a pleasant scent. Although I did use it on my baby, I confess I'm not much of a baby massage person (am I the only one whose kids get super impatient and wriggly when you try to massage them?) and I'll be finishing this bottle up on myself (a suggestion they have on their packaging!). However if you are a baby massage person, this is a great, gentle NZ option.
Finally the body wash. I found this a nice, soothing, gentle wash, again with no ingredients that I was worried by.
My only criticism of these products is that I found the scent lasted a little long - and I like my baby smelling only of baby! However, these are a really good option if you're looking for gentle, NZ made products for your little one.
Thanks Beauty Review for selecting me to trial these, I found two of the Honey Babe products amazing. even though one I wasn't particularly in love with as much as the others, it was still a really nice baby product All the Honey babe products smell amazingly good, like warm and yummy manuka honey. The barrier creme is super good! Such a fantastic product, great value, great ingredients and a baby product I will be telling everyone about! This creme is very healing and kind to the skin. The shampoo & wash worked great as a baby body wash and was super as a amazing smelling bubble bath, although I didn't find it worked well as a shampoo - perhaps abit drying to use on hair? The calming massage oil is just beautiful to use. It smells great, just like all the Honey Babe manuka products, but also left my sons skin silky soft and moisturised. He slept so well after his baby massages and I even found this great to use on my sore shoulders. Overall Wild Ferms Honey Babe products are fantastic and worked great all together. They are affordable and lovely to use. I will definately purchase these in future.
Tips: Adding a small amount of the calming massage oil to the bath left my little one's skin super smooth and soft the night's I didn't give him a massage.
